Ages ago a toy company let it slip, possibly under penalty, that the Crash series was going to make a comeback. A year and some change later Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy was released for PS4. That same situation may have just happen...

Bungie has some catching up to do with Destiny 2. Over time it was clear that they weren't up to the task of supporting it in the short term, so now they're aiming for a schedule that's a little more involved -- say, to the end of 2018.
In ...

Call of Duty is back to World War II. After blasting off into another galaxy so far away from the original ideals of the series, it made sense. After all we were getting to the point where all three Call of Duty developers (which is still w...

Activision Publishing's CEO Eric Hirshberg will step down this March, after a eight-year stint within the role, a run that has seen the company through multiple million-dollar releases.Although no reason was given for Hirshberg's departure,...

If you would have asked me at the beginning of 2017 what I thought the best-selling game of that year would be, I would have said, "Whatever the Call of Duty game is." Why? That's easy. Since 2014, the best-selling game of every year i...

While The Dawning was running over the past few weeks, Bungie was mostly on vacation and communication has been fairly dark. It broke the silence today with a huge blog post touching on its plans for Destiny 2 in 2018.
In an attempt to be l...

Activision's extended run in the number one spot of the UK Charts came to an end this week, as Electronic Arts' FIFA 18 successfully regained the top spot, knocking off Call of Duty: WWII, which held the coveted position since early Novembe...

Looks like a lot of people unwrapped shiny new Switch consoles this Christmas, as the following days saw adventure title Zelda: Breath of the Wild leap ten places to re-enter the UK's Top Ten. Splatoon 2 also made Top Forty re-entry, now si...

[Update: The onslaught continues. It's been roughly two weeks and every day, almost every single topic on the official forums is filled with "down with Eververse" posts. It's very rare that you see this kind of momentum, and Bungie has hit ...

In what's been a forgone conclusion for weeks, Activision's military-shooter Call of Duty: WWII fought back a bevy of contenders to lay claim to the Christmas #1 slot in the UK charts.The top three has been etched in stone for some time, wi...

Today marked the beginning of Steam's Winter Sale and that means folks are poking around to potentially give older games a second chance now that they're discounted. With that in mind, I hope you weren't in the mood for Transformers over th...

Odds are you're against loot boxes. The argument that they're "cosmetic" isn't enough to outright ruin a lot of games for me, but that doesn't mean I have to agree with the practice.
The idea of locking so many skins and cool-looking conten...

Xur, the creepy guy who sells players randomized special loot each week since the start of Destiny 1 (and by proxy, 2), is back once again today, but he's getting a few changes to make him more enticing.
For one the "Three of Coins" item re...

This week, Destiny 2's "Flashpoint" exercise is on Mercury. For the uninitiated, this is an easy weekly mission that each character can complete through public events that grants one piece of "Powerful Gear," one of the best ways to level u...

Destiny 2 just hosted its first expansion this week, The Curse of Osiris. It was disappointing to say the least, littered with core issues that plagued the game since the start, and a relatively light amount of content. To make matters wors...

As I reported in my review of the latest add-on, Bungie has locked base players out of the Prestige (hard) raid in Destiny 2, forcing them to buy the new expansion to play it. Yes, the hard mode version of the raid that came with the game i...

Destiny 2 has an endgame problem, and Bungie has an image problem.
We've been through this dance before with the first Destiny. The fans want more, Bungie says they're going to acquiesce, but they don't, at least not fully, and then in a ye...

Destiny 2 has a long way to go until it claws back from the hole it dug post-launch, but there's an effort being made today with some updates and a new expansion. We'll see if it's actually enough, but for now, if you pre-purchased the DLC ...
